Kellogg predicts Russia's defeat
I think that probably deep down he (Putin — ed.) understands that he cannot win this war. For him, this is a fight that cannot be won in the long run. It will not happen.

Journalists draw attention to the fact that Donald Trump's ally actually supported the idea of destroying Russian drones and fighter jets that invade NATO airspace.
According to Kellogg, if you look at this issue from a military perspective, sometimes responding to such situations requires raising the so-called risk level.
I'll give you a good example. ... A few years ago, in 2015, the Russians invaded Turkish airspace. What did the Turks do? They shot it down. Okay, that's going to get your attention pretty quickly, isn't it? That's what I mean by raising the risk level. I know it's dangerous. I understand that.
